In 2010, PC Fidel Kazim Lewis hit and injured pedestrian Julia Brown near the Queen's Park Savannah with his white Nissan wagon, breaking her leg and pelvic bone. Brown was hospitalised for three months.With just those facts, it's natural to assume the driver would be held liable. But in the court case last month, a Port-of-Spain magistrate discharged Lewis, a 28-year-old police officer, because Brown failed to use the pedestrian walkway which was only a few feet away.Even Brown admitted during her cross-examination that she was wrong to step out into the path of cars. Still, Brown broke no laws by not using the walkway, since there are no laws which prohibit jaywalking in T&T.

Yea those walkovers at Pasea, SAGHS and megastore are difficult for people with bikes, strollers and loads to navigate with the lack of a ramp.MG Man wrote:that walkover has steps, not ramps, and not even a mid-flight platform in case you lose your footing 3/4 way up
Not exactly an easy or safe to use with a stroller....both options are risky but can't throw too much blame at the fella
